What is that thing? Why is that thing? It looks like the vehicles from Aliens. On the windshield, there's a decal that reads "Apocalypse 6x6."

Looks like an armored Rezvani Hercules 6x6.

These are $$$ in general:

But they're also driveable in SnowRunner for much less money.

[–] Gobbel2000@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago

That's a lot of money. At this point they should have bought something like this, would actually help in an apocalypse:

Truck costs more than the house. . and will probably be repo'd within 3 years.

Notice what you don't see: Any scratches or dirt on it nor mud on any of it's 6 tires. Total pavement princess.

Not enough people talking about Christmas Aslan over there behind the truck.

"what is that thing" that is manifestation of parental lack of attention and affirmation.

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 101 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (9 children)

It exists because many people have more money than brains. As for the decal, what you have there is the 2024 Apocalypse Juggernaut 6x6 . My guess is that the owner is probably 5' 9" and 300 lbs gravy seal with 30 guns and 20,000 rounds of ammunition who thinks he's going to take over Florida when society collapses.

[–] muxika@lemmy.world 46 points 4 days ago (6 children)

The rugged individualist of the gated community.

If society collapses, if sure his survival instincts will kick in and he will try to buy something else.

The brand is actually called Apocalypse? Wow 🤦

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 37 points 4 days ago

Even better, it’s not even manual, the thing is a fucking automatic

Also known as a "loot drop" for the who actually will take over when society collapses

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Googling that truck name appears to show they sell for $250k-$260k. I can think of better things to spend that kind of money on.

Just... drive a train at this point. There's nothing more badass than a train.

NGL that pic you shared looks bad ass!

[–] drath@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Funny thing is, it's definitely real as it's on a public display, but nobody knows who built it and, most importantly, why they built it. There are numerous equally plausible yet contradicting legends, some people tried to investigate but results were inconclusive, possibly because there were multiple built completely independently, or because it was a top secret project and intelligence planted red herrings. Maybe some vodka drinking took place. But, one thing that is common amongst most legends is that it couldn't steer for shit, hence why it was scrapped.

I love seeing trucks and cars that are supposedly for the apocalypse. Do you seriously think we're going to have gas in the apocalypse??? Do you not realize the insane supply chain that needs to exist for you to have gas in your car? You can't store gas, it goes bad pretty dang quick you dumb fuck. What's your plan?

[–] vodka@feddit.org 35 points 4 days ago (10 children)

This is why my "shit hits the fan" vehicle is a 1982 diesel Mercedes.

That thing will run on anything as fuel. I've tried running it on old used motor oil, used hydraulic oil from my car hoist, lamp oil, and yes ofc used fryer oil.

I'm gonna be cruising in my old ass sedan laughing at the preppers in their modern trucks that can't run on anything but the most pure of fuels without clogging their injectors.

Us with solar and electric vehicles and bikes have been the actual ones prepping.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Best part is, this isn't even a diesel. It's got a Hellcat engine. For heavy vehicles you'd want diesel to get good torque and fuel economy. That's why cargo vehicles are almost all diesel powered.

Even if the refineries kept going in the apocalypse, I'm fairly sure places that distribute fuel would be few and far between. This person would have to refuel a LOT... Might not even make it to the next place with fuel.

Holy crap, I saw that thing at the airport. Pavement princesses are not really my thing.

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

What an utterly useless thing. You add axles to bear more weight. Unless you're hauling a big tungsten cube, the truck isn't big enough to carry a load that would need three axles.

It's even dumber than those Jeep Gladiators, the #1 pavement princess in my area, which sacrifice departure angle for a ridiculously small amount of cargo space and less load capacity than an entry level pickup truck.

Just stupid.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

big tungsten cube

Tbf if you can afford this thing you can probably almost afford a big tungsten cube..

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I'd rather have two cubes and a vehicle that doesn't reek of midlife crisis.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Two cubes?!

Hey everyone I found Jeff Bezos' lemmy acct. You seen the tungsten prices lately?!

A very scared man hides in this thing on his way to an unsatisfying job.

Every conversation with the owner: "goddamn gas prices! Stupid liberals!"

I'm also curious about WTF is going on on his lawn.

WTF is that wedding arch doing there?

WTF are those giant balls?

WTF is a fake lion doing there?

WTF are the metal looking pipes sticking out of the lawn?

The balls appear to be crimmus ornaments, the pipes look like utility meters.

As for the lion? He doesn't concern himself with the rest of the setup.

The first thing to be abandoned as soon as the highways fill up with stalled/crashed/flooded cars.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Well, at least it's not a cybertruck

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Beneath this atrocity is a Ram 1500.

So this truck will last 3 to 4 years tops, probably significantly less so after all the aftermarket work done to it.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 11 points 3 days ago (3 children)

oh jesus, The transmission probably fell out in the driveway just from the attention from reddit.

You laugh now, but when society collapses they'll be safe for a full hour before they run out of gas. If they can make it into the truck, of course, since it looks too big to fit in their garage.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That kinda looks sick. I love cars that aren't just stock standard stuff.

Man. I know it's a terrible waste of space, energy consumption and all around douchey vehicle... But 6 year old me thinks it looks pretty cool
